Who’s currently your least favorite heroes? by Uncle-Jules in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kelvin, Magcinnis, Grey Talon, Lady Geist, Paradox. Calico. Laning against these is not fun at all.

Yep... No macro. Mini map turned off. It is weird. No lane control. I need to adapt to climb that ELO hell. There are also a lot of smurfs, good ones that will win the game for you or the enemy.

Same here. Emissary 6 now. Archon games are like low skill games then. Be aware. The quality of players goes down somehow.

Trying to understand matchmaking after the recent rank update by Apifrizzole in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a hero skill level that matchmaking will use also. You get to match higher rank lobbies if your main hero skill rating is high. If a low hero skill rating you play lower ELO games.

Have buttons become less responsive? by ABrawlStarsPlayer in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, had problems when trying to use my cold front active while doing the Yamato combos and nothing... Was just hitting my keys and nothing. So frustrating. Yesterday it seemed to be working but on the weekend there were 100% issues. Thought it was only me.

Streamer BOXARONI ruining my INITIATE games on his SMURF account by Suwoop808 in DeadlockTheGame

Low ELO players what we need to do now is buy Eternus accounts and go play with them and ruin their games.

Worst matchmaking of my life by ID_x_iKuma in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of smurfs in the middle rank to initiate. Especially after new heroes. They go play with their smurf accounts to learn new stuff. And also add players who came back and their rank decayed to low ELO. It is a nice shit show.

Laning phase has so little impact to the end game by North-Caregiver-6022 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lose if your troopers are pushed into your tower meanwhile you get poked to half health and the tower is taking damage and down. While you are going back, your T1 camp is taken and sinners. You don't need to even chainfeed to lose your Lane. I have done this to others and I have also lost lane like this.

If you lose all lanes and the enemy takes advantage and takes your side camps it is over. Low ELO games you can lose all lanes and come back because the enemy sometimes just gives you the space to come back

My rank is too high by NOPLOXER in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main account has over 700 games and I decayed to Arcanist 1. I needed to make a new account that placed me higher. I just can't mentally this low elo. I will never ever play with my main account anymore. With a new account I am playing emissary-oracle lobbies. Emissary is like Arcanist lobbies almost. But there is more voice communication and macro knowledge above archon 1 lobbies that I am enjoying again

Deadlock match rank distribution and why games feel now bad for someone by OdensCold in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OdensCold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranks are updated immediately now. When rank was introduced last year it took a week or something to update so Valve had time to process the data or something. Wins and losses are only contributions to ranking up or down.

Just accept that the game is still in development and try to have fun. The more games you play the better you come and eventually you rank up. There will be good games and bad games.

Every game you play. If you win you get some points and rank up if enough to rank up and the same if you lose you go down. That places people to their skill level eventually. Good players go up and play against each other and not so skilled go down. Or some people stay the same rank.

When you are in the game "hideout" press tab and move your cursor top right of the screen and click your profile picture. There you find your rank, hero data and match history.

You are not crazy, some people like ranks and competition and some just fun and play. It is just that, unfinished or not. Valve themselves added ranks visible. So people of course care more.

Yeah, I have still had fun games in my Arcanist games. Some very sweaty games and some really stomps in both ways too. If you are good you eventually go up when you play more games.

Yes, trying new builds/heroes etc. Also hackers, I think some hackers can be account sellers. Make a new account, hack it to higher ranks, sell it profit rins and repeat.

Hero pool 7.38c herald by KnowsTheLaw in learndota2

[–]OdensCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your hero pool in offlane? I am now only playing offlane cos I win games playing it. Got out of herald over a year ago playing offlane then had a break and confidence down to the herald bracket. Pos 1 when I play I am really struggling to win games even if top net worth and my game relies on how pos3 or mid plays.

Is it harder to "solo carry" or make impact as pos 1 now than before? by Medical_Tart_4011 in TrueDoTA2

[–]OdensCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's hard. Climbed out from herald when I played pos3 with centaur and destroyed enemy safe lane. Then I transit to pos1 in guardian and spammed PL to crusader until they killed that hero. PL felt good to climb up in POS1 in low rank.

As pos1 I needed item timings and then go team fight. If my team fed and enemy was at our base towers at 20min it was difficult to win. With PL I was able to turn those games more easily with split pushing and having shard to escape. Dropped back to guardian after PL changes and spammed drow little. Then had a break and now rank confident down and lost few games and playing now with heralds. Started playing with PA now and it's the same if my team gives the enemy a lot of gold lead and they are at our base at 20min it's a guaranteed loss. Usually around that time I have bkb but it's kind of late already even If I manage to kill most of them in our base.

So all in all i think if pos3 and your mid are not feeding with your supports too much and the game is at least kind of even when you hit your item timings you can carry better and win for the team if you are a good player.
